As a spic I feel like I need to say that America preview was... fucking godawful. Like, holy shit was it bad. Bad show-don't-tell propping up Bendis would approve of, bad coloring, pretty goddamn horrible dialogue.
>pa' fuera pa' la calle
Like, fuck off, dude.

And really, Miss America Chavez is your choice for a fucking Latino (or Latinx if you're feeling particularly stupid) voice? Freaking Miss America Chavez who's not even from fucking Earth?! What is wrong with you?

Just... wow. Man, am I mad.

I saw a thread wherein a whole bunch of normally Progressive Comics 100% Positive people were cringing like fuck about it, so, well, should be interesting!

Yeah, I'm sure Casey in his Joe Casey way was kind of going for a "Miss America but of the Now" with her and Gillen got his entirely too clever Wonder Woman expy thing in mind and ran with it and now the sense...

>>90199774

I was expecting him to shit the bed but he actually managed to do worse than I feared. He was straight up shitting on Zemo there.

The one--ONE--constant is that Zemo always has the number for each of the Bolts in an unnerving way. He didn't even try with Erik, and he's good at bullying him!

>>90199315
Hello, Storyteller.

First off, I ain't afraid to admit I missed you. Second, the 2011 Thundercats show was such a huge disappointment that I kinda doubt this crap here can top it.

>>90199812

>>90199812

I was originally somewhat hopeful for the America solo because some of the stuff the writer said in interviews sounded good...but holy shit, that preview was godawful.

It's definitely pitching for the Gillen YA market--low but steady, checks a variety of boxes, people have made noises about it for a while--but the distance between pitch and 20 pages a month is...

>>90199982
I went and climbed Enchanted Rock, which was on my bucket list, so I love y'all but it wasn't happening

>>90199914

That Thunderbolts issue moved the Zubbolts run from storytime of boredom & disappointment into storytime of pain territory.

For me personally it was just a bunch of intro pages for a #1 which is looking for an audience, so I didn't get the hate. I expected that. The meat of the comic, if there's gonna be any, was almost totally absent from the preview.

This panel is the whole comic. I want to believe there's the tiniest sense of irony here, but.

>>90200134
It was just infuriatingly pander-y, and you can tell this is going to be the Ta-Nehisi Coates' Black Panther for Latinos starring a lead that's not even fucking Latina!

Also, I don't like either the character or the set-up describes in the interviews, so the book as a whole is just a huge turn-off for me. Like the kind of thing I'd be embarrassed to be caught reading in public.

I rolled my eyes at the "Kate (the REAL Hawkeye)" because that's really hard to pull off--either you come across as defensive because you know she's not, or you fall into the "Making dudebros mad is virtuous in and of itself" category. And, well, we all saw something of what happens to figures who live and die solely on the making people mad front, lol

I debated if it was just SoP or not

>>90200177
So I feel like while promising things were said in the preview/interview there was always a solid 50:50 this was gonna be another Marvel Book for X (are you buying it yet?). The college set-up adds to that because you have to be Good to make that good.

But for the actual preview >>90200196 it's to me just backstory pages. Maybe I'm totally off on this one, but I'm not having the same reaction as a lot of people I see. Is it a hook? No, but a basic intro isn't making me disgusted. The cringiest bit for me in that is the "I WISH I COULD HUG MY MOMS" and the worrying bit is the lack of immediate hook or any edge.

>>90199517
Snarf should not have eaten so many Snarfshrooms. He's tripping balls.

What baffles me is why Helmut didn't just, like, go up to their front door and knock. "Hello old friends. Life seems to be shitting on you a bit. I can help you with that. Just come on back to me and we can clean up this whole mess. What do you say?"

Would've been a better sales pitch than rather uncharacteristically going thug on their asses for no good reason.

>>90200528

The refusal to deal with Standoff in any way was one of the most idiotic decisions Zub made but became especially grating here where he seemed to ignore that Karla, Erik and Norbert teamed up with Helmut just fine there.

Also he completely botched the Norbert and Helmut dynamic, being the only writer in twenty years to do that.

Also, whoever said you can't judge a book by its cover was talking out of their ass. Crossovers literally only exist to pander to two or more fan bases at once. I suppose theoretically, you could maybe squeeze a good story out of mixing two franchises, but simply never happens.

Fuck, I actually knew about Jared before we read his stuff here. That right is how much of a nobody Madman is. Dr. Fate's temporary 90s replacement has more of a place in comics history.

That speech reads like some OC Sonic fanfiction.

this is stupid

>>90204159
not sure how you've heard of Mike Allred (actually, have you?) without hearing about Madman, cranky

>>90204159
Weeew, doubling down on your retardness, eh? Guess mommy dropped you on your head when you were little. Of course you knew about DC shit before indie shit, especially if you're a capegobbling casual. Drooling dumbass.

>>90204169
This....is poorly thought out.

>>90204210
The big Thundercats joke is Lion-O is the worst fucking king ever and the cats need to learn some other form of government already.

>>90204058
I just don't see anyone whatsoever buying the book, even in trade, unless it has some good ol' fashioned repost bait pages like Mighty Thor and Mockingbird.

Hoping it ends up like Midnighter, though.

>>90204254
I don't know that those pages are the reason these books do well (other than the Mockingbird controversy boosting sales).

>>90204247
Wait. I've seen those red-tinted panels before... in Millar's Authority? But why here too? Were they just a WS staple or something? How odd.

OH! So Aaron is finally gonna tell us what made Thor Unworthy. This is exciting to me because it has to be 1) elegant 2) memorable OR 3) spectacularly shitty. The last thing it can afford to be is 4) 'that's fucking it?'.

>>90204254
>unless it has some good ol' fashioned repost bait pages
I'm pretty sure those are required in Marvel books now

>>90204292
The "Thor will kill Jane Foster" line seems the most likely one that ticks all the boxes. And that's a 4).

>>90199774
Where do I look for discussion on Zubbolts? I checked out out of that book a while ago but apparently it managed to get worse

>>90203784

no one is hype for Iceman tho

Meh, it is. I wonder if he really didn't want to put it off this long but the reboots/relaunches fucked with things. I've been reliably told that the "WHO IS THOR?" mystery was never meant to go that long, sooo.

>>90204354
us, mainly, probably

shit, when it's done, we'll read it from the top and break it apart into little pieces of missed potential

>>90204334
Knowing Marvel it was something like that but they'll change it because people have guessed it

>>90200626
>The Thundercats reboot never got to the point when the twins grew up to look like this

Lion-o missed out.

>>90204277
It's better to have a controversial book that gets lots of angry Twitter posts or Tumblr reblogs than one nobody cares about.

>>90204292
I'm of the opinion it should have been one of those things that never gets revealed because nothing can possibly live up to readers' expectations. But I guess with how Aaron has written Thor so far he has no choice at this point.

>>90204296
Eh, I think the anger over Marvel's books is overblown, the ones that rely on bait are still in the minority. And this is coming from someone who's barely read Marvel in years.

>>90204206
I haven't heard of most indieshit because I avoid that trash like the plague. I have no interest in experiencing the unfiltered id of some nerd hold up in their basement adapting their manifestos to illustrated print. Fuck that noise with a rusty pitchfork.

>>90204191
I have not heard of Mike Allred, and I really, REALLY don't give a flying rat's ass.

>>90204415
>I have not heard of Mike Allred

>>90204387

Jane Thor noticeably improves once it stops dragging the mystery. I've enjoyed it from the start. You can tell it's kind of an albatross.

>>90204415
Oh, so you really are brain damaged. OK then. Kill yourself.

>>90204415
Have you had a bad day, anon?

>>90204387
X-Anon is right, it is so dumb they can't stab someone in this.

He absolutely has no choice. He did the epic fantasy structure wherein the mystery helps drive the plot, and that means you have to know what happened and make the reveal do serious dramatic work. It's great when it works, not so great when it's "that's it?", and miserable when it's "and we never, ever found out".

>and now, team orgy time

LOL

>>90204292
Did Thor/Mighty Thor ever get any better? I stopped reading it because the mystery and that embarrassing tryhard pseudo-"feminist" rant soured me on the series.

That, and I just really like my Thor Kirby/Simonson flavored: over the top and epic as fuck. Aaron's feels a bit too grounded after The God Butcher

>>90204403
shit, I hope the new Elektra series goes well, but there were already a few people in the thread going "OMG SJW HAIR DROPPED" after the third page

>>90204387

Zubbolts will make for an excellent Storytime of Pain when it's done. I am undecided whether it's better or worse than Bendis' Dark Avengers.

THE END

THat was...that was something! Thank you anon for enabling!

We should be back next week on Tuesday and Friday. Otherwise I am, unfortunately, working late these days. Suggestions accepted.

>>90204415
His style is fairly distinct so I'm willing to bet you've seen his stuff even if you didn't catch his name. X-Statix and iZombie aren't exactly obscure.

>>90204562
Point me to the female-led Marvel book that doesn't get that here.

>>90204605
Thanks OP, g'night.

>>90204539

Shi'ar War going on now!. and i think it might read better all at once and knowing the answers to most mysteries.

>>90204605
whew, he still has one rape slave left. I was worried!

thanks OP, that sure was a comic

>>90204605
Night OP. I had a question about opera and China I forgot, I'll ask you next time.

>>90204605
I knew Wilykat was his real fave slave.

thanks again OP

>>90204627
Black Widow? Though I don't know if it's even still running or not.

>>90204470
I have had to endure so much edgelord garbage this month. Between Joe Casey's bullshit, this fucking heap, a ton of bad horror games (fuck Husk), and now this shit? Yeah, not really in the mood for indieshit hipsters yapping at me for not liking their rightfully obscure trash. So feel free to kiss the fattest part of my ass.

>>90204775
Would you say you were tsun tsun~?

I think it just ended, or is ending soon? 12 is the last issue

LMAO
How does it feel that that "indieshit" is way more known and beloved than you as a person ever will be?

>>90204605
Thanks for posting as always, Storyteller.

The words you're looking for may be along the lines of "boring tripe". For all the BLEEDING EDGE, this was a dull sit. Goddamn.

>>90204771

need an image for bucky with Pleb: Zubbolts Enlighted: that Waid/Samnee Waid arc

that elsa bloodstone book outta monsters unleashed might avoid that bs

>>90204615
>iZombie
Oh, the Tru Calling knockoff? Good to know I can just go right ahead and avoid Allred's work.

>>90205007
He didn't write iZombie, Retardanon. By the way, that's what I'm going to call you from now on: Retardanon.

>>90202267
They put the lock in her top Snarf. I wouldn't lie to you.

>>90205107
You can call me whatever you want, it won't change the fact iZombie is garbage and that everyone who had anything to do with it should kill themselves.

>>90205230
You first, Retardanon. Clearly your life is empty as fuck and you do nothing but bring misery to those around you. I don't think anyone in this board or real life would miss you.

>>90205275
You're probably right, but the fact of the matter is that iZombie still sucks, only hipsters care about Madman, and that artist who's name I've already forgotten is just as devoid of value as the books he's worked on.

I mean if you'd like to start approaching a point eventually, please do, because sitting there trying insult me is a waste of both our times. I'm too harder by over a decade of being on 4chan, and you're not creative enough to even come up with anything interesting to hit me with. So if we could get back on topic, that'd be great.
